In 1813, the Hanoverian army already consisted of 3 hussar regiments. With the reformation of the cavalry in 1816, the number of hussar regiments was even increased to four. In 1833, the cavalry was reformed again and all regiments were now classified as dragoons. However, as early as 1838, the cavalry was reorganized once more and hussar regiments were created again. These included the Garde-Husaren-Regiment and the Königin-Husaren-Regiment. As late as 1847, the regiments received fur busbies with red and crimson bags respectively. In 1866, the regiment participated in the war against Prussia.
